So guys, in an attempt to motivate and inspire people that may be lacking currently, I thought I'd host a contest! Basically, the brief is to make an 18 hole course, but go wild! I want courses that could feasibly exist in real life and still look good, but use your imagination to create something unique for me! If you're struggling to understand, think The Predator or The Highlands on TW games. This means creative use of elevation, hazards, objects and slopes, and interesting hole designs. I'm after a fun golfing environment, so the level of difficulty isn't a priority - make it as easy or as challenging as you like, as long as it's fun! Anyone can enter, even if you've already started work on a plot - the only thing I want to avoid is a republishing of an existing or slightly updated course! I'll tentatively set the deadline at midnight GMT on July 3rd, but this can be open to negotiation. Just to sweeten the deal, the winner of this contest (as decided by me) will earn 20 of my British Pounds (that's like $30ish USD). Things I do want to see: Creative hole design Fantastic views Original ideas Creative object usage A potentially feasible golf course Things I don't want to see (unless you can find a way to make it work): Crazy for the sake of crazy - make it flow Animals as hazards I'm going to go ahead and put everyone that's expressed interest down as entered, but let me know if I've jumped to conclusions here. It will remain open for sign-ups too, so don't worry that you've missed out. Entrants @griff NCFCRulz welikeitroughnc mrooola pyates boomboom hershalcrustofsk drivert Moe Slorkman

If you're struggling to inderstand, think The Predator or The Highlands on TW games. I'll set a time limit once I see how many people are interested in taking part. NEW COURSES ONLY PLEASE, no reusing old designs! The target here is to create a fun environment - the main criteria is how enjoyable it is to play, so feel free to make it as challenging as you wish, but make it amazing! Just to sweeten the deal, the winner of this contest (as decided by me) will earn 20 of my British Pounds (that's like $30ish USD). If you get a few entries for this il be in

If you want me I'd be in. Depending on the time frame. Not very good at fantasy and have no clue what type of course those you listed are/were. But I rarely say no to a competition.

Tempted to have a go at something a bit different. I guess it'll come down to timeline as I won't have time to start immediately and a few other things going on. 9 holes would be easier to fit in
Nice to see something a little different though

I've messaged everyone that has expressed interest in the contest so far to ask what they'd consider a reasonable timeframe to complete a course in, so feel free to wade into that discussion and we'll get this thing ironed out and underway soonish.

I might be interested in 9, as much as I would love to have a devils island course, it think it might be a waste of time and not well received by the realist birdie lovers. The wacky par 3 was a bust and that was 1 hole.

Yeah I have a fun idea but wouldn't do a full 18. You might get a bit of luck with people extending a 9 hole course to a full 18 after the contest.

I was thinking of passing on this because I signed up for the web thing, but screw it, I've been wanting to get a little wild with a design with a good reason too. Sign me up. I'll be doing 18 though, playing 9 holes is like kissing your sister boomboom and pyates

Prob is the idea I have is so extreme making 9 holes is going to take an epic amount of time. But... If it has to be 18 I could get creative with that... Maybe I'll just do the one hole but have a massive green and 18 tee boxes
